Follow The Directions

01

Step

Season the pork tenderloin generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the pork and sear until browned on all sides, about 1-2 minutes per side. This step is crucial for developing rich flavor. Add the diced onions, red bell peppers, and minced garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes. (Cook time: 12 minutes)

03

Step

Stir in the diced tomatoes with green chile peppers (undrained), kidney beans, beef broth, diced green chile peppers (undrained), chili powder, dried basil, and ground cumin. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer gently, stirring every 20 minutes to prevent sticking, until the pork is incredibly tender and easily pulls apart, about 1.5 to 2 hours. (Cook time: 1 hour 30 minutes)

04

Step

Stir in the frozen edamame, corn, and carrots. Continue to cook until the vegetables are heated through, about 5-7 minutes. (Cook time: 7 minutes)

05

Step

Using the flat edge of a wooden spoon or two forks, gently break the pork into smaller, shredded pieces directly in the stew. This enhances the texture and allows the flavors to meld beautifully. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

For an even deeper flavor, consider browning the pork in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. This ensures proper searing and prevents the pork from steaming.
Adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference. For a milder stew, use 1 teaspoon; for a spicier kick, increase to 3 teaspoons.
This stew is even more delicious the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld together. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serve this comforting stew with a side of fluffy rice, creamy mashed potatoes, or crusty bread for soaking up the flavorful broth.

    Easy to follow and the flavors were amazing. I used chicken broth instead of beef and it was still great.
